My alarum clock apparently failed to wake me up when it was supposed to this morning. I woke up at 10:30, saw the clock, and went into panic-mode. At first I sat there for a moment while my brain made sure it was really Monday morning. Once that was done, I went and checked another clock just to be sure the time was right. Then I went back into the bedroom, and tested the alarm, which worked fine. It had been turned on, and set for 7:30 as always, but if it did go off, it didn't wake me up. It's never failed to awaken me in the past five or six years that I've been using it.

So I showered, had an early lunch, and left for work. It takes me an hour to get here, so I arrived at 12:30, and found my office closed and locked. None of my three other officemates were here. My two bosses were also gone, apparently away on travel.

After a few minutes, one of my officemates arrived. Every other morning, I get here at about 9:00-ish, and she arrives a few minutes later. I leave the office lights off while I set up my laptop, just like I was doing today. She arrives and turns on the lights and says "Good morning," which she did today. It freaked me out.

Turns out my other two cow-orkers are just taking the day off for unknown reasons.

This week has certainly begun strangely. But I got an extra three hours of sleep out of it, so I'm not complaining.
